Girls Gotta Eat

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions that may be sensitive regarding disordered eating and mental illness. If you or someone you know is struggling, please listen with care. We're honored to have Dr. Daniel Amen, one of America's leading psychiatrists and brain health experts, join us to discuss the brain's link to happiness. He's breaking down the brain, educating us on the different types and how they affect our relationships, and giving actionable steps to achieve a healthier, happier life. He also shares some intel about his celebrity clients you may have heard of (Justin Bieber, anyone?). Before Dr. Amen joins us, we're continuing the blowjob conversation, recapping our Valentine's date, and reviewing Love is Blind 2. Enjoy!

It's our 4-year anniversary episode and a long-awaited topic: BLOWJOBS! We're covering it all from tips and tricks to visualization techniques to spitting/swallowing, and we're reframing the whole experience in terms of "blowjobs" vs. "sucking dick" (which may lessen the anxiety for anyone with a blowbia). Before we dive into dick, we answer burning listener questions and spill a little tea, recap our Miami trip, and review a few recent shows we loved. Hope you enjoy!

IT'S HERE -- our long-awaited recap of the best/worst show ever created, And Just Like That. We're discussing the entire season, deep diving on the finale, and sharing our overall feelings about the ridiculous reboot of our beloved Sex and the City. We also have an exclusive interview with a surprise guest that's been on both GGE and AJLT. And before we get into the recap, we're chatting about a "benching" incident that has us once again saying "the audacity of men." Hope you enjoy!

We are so honored to be joined by the one-and-only Rachel Lindsay -- author, podcaster, media personality, attorney, and former Bachelorette. Rachel doesn't hold back as we discuss her sexual awakening after growing up in a strict, religious family, the challenges and outside judgements of her interracial relationship, her marriage being long-distance for a period of time (and how they kept it spicy), speaking out against the Bachelor franchise, and which Bachelor she wanted to sleep with but didn't. Before Rachel joins us, we're discussing Rayna's breast reduction, Ashley's bush dilemma, and Azul's new name. Enjoy!

The podcast discusses the concept of 'soft boys' in modern dating, comparing them to fuck boys without the cockiness. They explore the characteristics and manipulation associated with soft boys. The hosts also talk about encountering uncomfortable behavior from a guy at a pool deck in Austin and share their experiences with dating soft boys. They discuss leaving personal items after a hookup and answer an email about masturbation to a coworker's Instagram posts.

We absolutely loved chatting with author/comedian/speaker Lane Moore about how to be alone (and actually enjoy it). We're discussing how childhood trauma affects relationship building throughout your life, how to enjoy your own company, self-talk for when you're alone, the benefits of being single, false narratives about marriage, making friends, and more. Before Lane joins us, we're discussing Rayna's breast reduction and Ashley's rescue mission. Enjoy! Follow Lane on Instagram @HelloLaneMoore and buy her book here.

In our first solo episode of the year, we're diving deeper into a topic combo that's always relevant: Communication and conflict. We're covering romantic relationships, friendships, and even work situations while discussing the importance of speaking up when something bothers you, how to express yourself in a productive way, why your initial reaction isn't always how you really feel, and how to re-address something when you already reacted one way. Before we get into it, Rayna pops off about everything that's been happening in pop culture (ahem, Tristan Thompson), and Ashley shares an overdue date story. And we're ending the episode with a classic segment, Fuck My Phone. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley @AshHess, and Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg.

It's a new year and alcohol is on the agenda -- we are joined by therapist and author of Not Drinking Tonight Amanda White (@TherapyForWomen). She shares her story of sobriety and walks us through the process and self-reflection for people who want to examine their relationship with alcohol and explore quitting or cutting back (and yes, we're chatting about the fear of dating and socializing sober). We're also discussing why our brains aren't made for the social media world and why it's ok to not be positive all the time. Before Amanda joins us, we're sharing our 2022 goals, Ashley has a confession, and Rayna revels in her recent cooking win. Enjoy and happy new year!

Settle in for three women unpacking a wide range of body-related topics. We are joined by writer/founder of Slutever Karley Sciortino and she so graciously explains pee fetishes (we had a lot to learn) and her stint as an amateur dominatrix. Then we're chatting about dating women and why we have "phases" of different types of partners, guys not wanting to go down on you, sex parties, and lastly, why we fake orgasms (and should stop). Before Karley joins us, we're talking about Rayna's breast reduction and an accidental sext Ashley received. Hope you enjoy! Follow Karley on Instagram @KarleySlutever.
